Does this work with WordPress.com sites?

AI SEO Agents works with self-hosted WordPress.org sites (version 5.0 and above) that have REST API access enabled. WordPress.com Business and eCommerce plans support the REST API, but lower-tier plans do not.

Do I need to install any WordPress plugins?

No plugins are required for basic publishing. However, installing Rank Math or Yoast SEO lets AI SEO Agents set focus keywords, meta titles, and meta descriptions automatically during publishing.

Can I publish as draft instead of going live immediately?

Yes. When triggering a publish job, set the status to "draft" and the article will be created in WordPress without being visible to your site visitors. You can review and publish it manually when ready.

How does the image sourcing work?

AI SEO Agents uses a 3-tier strategy: first it searches your WordPress media library by keyword, then checks recent uploads, and finally falls back to Unsplash stock photos. Images are automatically placed in the article with proper alt text.

Is my WordPress password stored securely?

Your Application Password is encrypted and stored in AWS Secrets Manager with KMS encryption. It is never exposed in logs or API responses.

How AI SEO Agents Connects to WordPress

AI SEO Agents uses the WordPress REST API with Application Password authentication to publish, update, and audit posts on your site. No plugins are required for basic publishing — your WordPress site just needs REST API access enabled (the default on WordPress 5.0 and later).

Publishing Workflow

Content generation

The Content Agent researches your keyword, analyzes competitors, and writes a 2,000+ word article saved to S3.

Quality scoring

The Publisher Agent scores your article across 10 SEO dimensions. Articles below your threshold are queued for enhancement.

WordPress publishing

Approved articles are published via the REST API with full Rank Math meta, featured images, and proper heading structure.

Post-publish verification

A headless Chromium browser loads the live page and runs 14 SEO checks to verify everything rendered correctly.

For the richest layouts, use the Elementor publishing mode. It creates multi-section pages with FAQ toggles, author bio cards, and full-width images — all built via the Elementor integration.

What Agents Actually Change on Your Site

Beyond publishing new articles, agents deploy on-page fixes to pages you already have: missing or overlong meta titles and descriptions, broken heading hierarchies, absent structured data, and orphaned pages with no internal links pointing at them. Every change goes through the same REST API connection and is logged per post, so you can see exactly what was modified and when. Publishing in draft mode keeps a human approval step in the loop, and any published post can be reverted to draft with one action.

Meta titles and descriptions rewritten to length and keyword targets
Schema markup (Article, FAQ, breadcrumbs) added as JSON-LD
Internal links placed with descriptive anchor text into related posts
Image alt text filled where missing
Heading structure corrected to a single H1 with logical H2/H3 nesting

The technical SEO fixes documentation details each correction agents can deploy, and the SEO for WordPress guide covers the full platform playbook — plugin stack, REST automation, and where AI agents fit.
